Mexico's Homex says SEC review is over accounting rule changes

MONTERREY May 11 (Reuters) - Mexican homebuilder Homex
said on Wednesday that a Securities Exchange
Commission (SEC) probe into the company is related to a change
in accounting rules in the sector several years ago.

The company added in a statement that it would hire an
external party to review its operations between 2009 and 2012.

Homex said earlier in May that it was the target of a probe
into fraudulent real estate sales and had appointed a temporary
chief executive officer and chief financial officer while the
current directors dedicate their time to the issue.
